Beach Cleanup Day: Clean Beaches, Healthy Ocean!

Submitted By: vicky@netartsbaywebs.org – Click to email about this post
Friends of Netarts Bay – WEBS and Oceanside Action Partnership invites community members, families, and visitors to join us on July 5th for a beach clean up from Cape Lookout to Cape Meares.
Volunteers will work together to remove marine debris and litter left behind after the Fourth of July festivities. Cleanups provide a great opportunity to come together as a community to make a positive difference; every piece of trash removed protects our local coastal ecosystems and prevents harm to seabirds, marine mammals, fish, and other wildlife. “Healthy beaches benefit both people and wildlife,” said Marina Dreeben, WEBS Stewardship Coordinator.
Check in begins at 10:00 a.m. Volunteers can start at The Schooner Restaurant or the upper parking lot at Oceanside beach; we will have check-in tables at both locations! Volunteers will be split into teams in order to cover as much area as possible!
AND be sure to stick around after the cleanup for a special treat just for volunteers – The Schooner will be grilling up fresh oysters from Pearl Point Oyster here in Netarts to thank you for keeping our coastal ecosystems clean!!
Volunteers should dress for the weather, wear sturdy footwear, and bring a water bottle. Gloves, trash grabbers, and a limited number of buckets will be provided. Please bring your own bucket if you have one!
As you head out to clean up or just explore, it is important to remember that ocean shores can be dangerous. Avoid logs in the water, keep your distance from marine mammals, and never turn your back on the ocean! If you find any hazardous material or unattended beach fires, please alert a staff member.
The event is free and open to the public. No previous experience is necessary, and volunteers of all ages are welcome. Youth under the age of 18 should be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
Advanced registration saves time but is not required. To register and read more about this event, visit www.netartsbaywebs.org/events

“Rise Up, Sing Out:

A Concert for the First Amendment”

Your NK4 Day- Virtual Event

Sunday, June 14, 2026 4:30 PT online: riseupsingout.com/

Indivisible Tillamook Coast Action invites community members from across Tillamook County to gather virtually on June 14 at 4:30 PDT for a special watch party and sing-along celebrating the freedoms protected by the First Amendment and the power of people coming together in community.

The event will feature a virtual viewing of “Rise Up, Sing Out: A Concert for the First Amendment,” presented by the Committee for the First Amendment and No Kings.

This uplifting 90-minute concert will bring together an extraordinary lineup of artists, activists, and performers in a celebration of free speech, free press, freedom of religion, freedom of assembly, and the right to peaceful protest.

Featured performers include: Jane Fonda, Patti Smith, Bette Midler, Rufus Wainwright, Sasha Allen, Joy Reid, Wilson Cruz, Broadway Inspirational Voices, and many more.

Organizers encourage participants to grab their favorite cocktail or mocktail, wear festive loungewear, and invite friends and family to join an evening filled with music, laughter, inspiration, and connection.

“Two hundred fifty years later, we still choose community over kings,” Don Backman, Spokesperson for Indivisible Tillamook Coast Action, said. “This is a chance to celebrate the freedoms we share, connect with one another, and enjoy an evening of collective joy.”

At a time when many families are facing rising costs for groceries, gas, and everyday necessities, the virtual format provides an affordable and accessible way for people to participate, celebrate, and build community together.

The event will be streamed with watch parties all across the country—so wherever you are, you can sing along, find inspiration in the performances, build community, and take meaningful action together.

Conscious Aging and Community Connections, June 8

Aging-in-Place.2; Decision-Making Tools
June 8, 2 to 4PM
Pine Grove Community House
Manzanita

Attendees at our May Conscious Aging session engaged in a lively discussion about the pros, cons and complexities of Aging-in-Place in our own homes.

Participants shared ideas about what qualities of life they value most, now, as well as nearer end of life. We considered phases of aging as our abilities diminish and change. We compared the costs of aging in our homes, with possible in-home care, to the cost of assisted living facilities and nursing homes.

It became clear that all the aspects of Aging-in-Place could not be covered in only two hours.

By popular demand, at our June 8th meeting, we will continue our conversation about Aging-in-Place. This time, with emphasis on ways we can each make plans, based on our personal preferences, resources and our community assets and limitations.

Tela Skinner will facilitate the conversation. She will share an assessment tool she has developed that includes a questionnaire for self-evaluation of baseline preferences and abilities. Each person will be able to personalize the tool according to their own values, priorities, and current physical, emotional and mental abilities. The tool can be used to answer the questions repeatedly, as ones situation changes, or when it is time to reconsider our living situation.

Later this year we plan to hold a brainstorming session to identify opportunities for us to combine our time, energy, skills and resources to address individual and community concerns about aging in place.

We hope you’ll be able to join us for this engaging topic.

syMPHONY CONCERTS NEXT WEEKEND

Submitted By: sdawagner@icloud.com – Click to email about this post
The North Oregon Coast Symphony concludes its 2025-26 season with two concerts in June titled “Ancient Echoes, New Tides.” These will be very
special events, as the orchestra is honored to present the world premiere performances of We Await a Glassy Sea by composer Isabella Morrill. This evocative piece was commissioned for NOCS by two generous donors, and has become a favorite of our musicians.
Another highlight of the program will be Cécile Chaminade’s lovely Concertino for Flute and Orchestra, featuring NOCS flautist Melissa Lagerquist.
Outdoor Overture by the famous American composer Aaron Copland and Symphony No. 5 by the lesser known Ferdinand Ries will round out the
performances. Melodies in Copland’s piece probably will sound familiar to an audience, as will some themes in Ries’s symphony. Ries studied and worked with Beethoven, whose musical influence on Ries is obvious.
The first concert will take place on Saturday, June 13 at the Nehalem Elementary School Gym (36300 8th St., Nehalem, OR) beginning at 3:00 pm.
The second concert will be on Sunday, June 14, at the Charlene Larsen Center for the Performing Arts (588 16th St., Astoria, OR) at 3:00 pm.
Admission for both concerts will be: $10 Adults, ages 18 and under FREE (children 12 and under with adult supervision.)
Tickets will be available at the door for the Nehalem concert (cash and personal checks only.)
Tickets for the Astoria concert are available online at LarsenCenter.org or by phone at 503-338-9132.

This non-profit orchestra, under the direction of conductor Cory Pederson, brings together musicians from the north Oregon and south Washington coast to perform classical music for local audiences. For more information, please

Manzanita Farmers Market Week 4: Friday 4-7

Submitted By: info@manzanitafarmersmarket.com – Click to email about this post
It’s feeling more like summer and the days keep getting longer, and last week we saw the first cherries and raspberries of the season! Lots more where those came from, rain or shine. Music this week is by Joshua Cox, a “folk-rooted and acoustic driven” singer-songwriter.

There’s a little rain in the forecast, which is great for plants! Laughing Rabbit Farm has a beautiful selection of plants, primarily medicinal and culinary herbs, plus some edible flowers. These extra long days with in and out rain and sunshine are perfect for planting!

This year we have 2 cheese vendors: Nestucca Bay Creamery is back after a few years away from the market, and they have fresh curds and aged cheeses with milk from their local, primarily grass fed cows. Fraga Farm is at market every other week, with fresh goat cheese and extra flavorful feta.

Hike Bayocean Spit: Explore the Dynamic Coast and a Town Lost to the Sea

Submitted By: vicky@netartsbaywebs.org – Click to email about this post
Step back in time and uncover the fascinating story of our coastline during a guided exploration of Bayocean Spit. Discover the remains of a once-thriving community now hidden beneath the salal and sand, and learn how nature and human actions shaped its remarkable history.

Join Clair Thomas of the Garibaldi Cultural Heritage Initiative and Friends of Netarts Bay – WEBS Saturday, June 13th for an engaging walk through one of the Oregon Coast’s most unique landscapes. Along the way, Clair will share captivating stories about the people who once called Bayocean home and explain how powerful natural forces, combined with human-made changes to the spit, led to the town’s decline.

This easy-to-moderate hike takes participants along the bay, across scenic dunes, and down the ocean beach at the meeting place of Tillamook Bay and the Pacific Ocean. As you explore this dynamic coastal environment, you’ll gain a deeper appreciation for both the ecological richness and the human history of this extraordinary sand spit.

Whether you’re a history enthusiast or nature lover, this walk offers a unique opportunity to experience the past while enjoying this beautiful area.

Registration is required for this free event. Learn more at:https://www.netartsbaywebs.org/events

This popular event fills up quickly! If the event is full, please add your name to the waitlist so we can reach out if spots become available.

What to bring: Comfortable walking shoes, water, and snacks are a must! Binoculars are highly encouraged. The climate can change quickly along the coast, ranging from warm to cool and breezy, so please bring the gear you need to stay comfortable.

Difficulty: Easy to moderate due to the challenges of walking on the soft and wet sand. Participants should be prepared to walk 3 miles over flat gravel, dry and wet sand, and up/down trails over sand dunes. We will make multiple stops to discuss the ecology and history of the area. Participants are welcome to join for all or part of the hike.

If bad weather develops, an alternate plan will be communicated to the registered participants.

Parking: This is a Tillamook County Park-managed parking area. Please be sure to bring your annual pass and/or credit card (cash is not accepted) to pay the $10 parking fee.

NCCWP PRESENTS THE FILM “FREE TO GROW” TOMORROW NIGHT

Submitted By: coyotevibe@yahoo.com – Click to email about this post
EVENT TOMORROW NIGHT – This Thursday, June 4th, Old Grove Films, Beyond Toxics, and North Coast Communities for Watershed Protection collaborate on an event presenting a screening of “Free to Grow,” with filmmaker Jesse Andrew Clark in attendance. The half-hour documentary explores the impact of industrial pesticide use on Oregon families. Oregonians have taken up the fight against aerial herbicide spraying by the forestry industry for over fifty years — but has public safety around these substances improved?

After the film, Jennifer Eisele from Beyond Toxics will discuss practical ways that coastal residents can keep track of spraying in their communities and watersheds. This includes a first-of-its-kind map which plots pesticide applications in Oregon forests from 2014 to 2024. We will also provide resources to sign up for future forestry herbicide spray notifications through the Oregon Forestry Activity Electronic Reporting and Notification System (FERNS). Admission is free. Bay City Arts Center, 5680 A Street, Bay City, Oregon, Thursday, June 4, doors at 5:45 p.m., film at 6 p.m.

NCCWP wants no more logging and pesticide use in community drinking water sources regardless of who owns the land, and wants an end to pesticide applications near where people live, work, and recreate.

Learn Acupressure for Self-care Monthly Classes in Nehalem

Submitted By: wingsforwisdom@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
Hello Community,

Beginning this month on June 29th, I’ll be holding self-care acupressure classes in Nehalem at The Studio House.

I am Libby Golden Seaver, a Health and Movement Coach with a 25yr background in massage and bodywork therapies.

My life has been a journey of moving from illness to wellness. It’s long been my passion to share the skills I use to keep myself well, because I know how good it feels and I know you can do it! With regular self-care, our awesome bodies are capable of vibrant good health.

Each month will cover a different topic, and I’ll always post on my website, on BBQ, FB/Nextdoor, and in my monthly newsletter.

Classes are 45 min plus tea and organic refreshment. There are two classes back to back. Come for one or both!
$55 for one class
$100 for both

This month addresses stress reduction followed by lower back pain, weakness, and sciatica. Stress drains our kidney energy which weakens the low back, so, first we reduce stress, then we support healthy low back energy flow. A great combination.

5-5:45 Stress reduction acupressure point sequence instruction.
5:45-6:15 Tea and refreshments
6:15-7:00 Low back/sciatic pain relief and energy bolstering acupressure routine instruction

Handouts with the points and their locations will go home with you. Or, there will be Acupressures Potent Points books for sale at a 10% discount from list price.

I currently have room for 8 members in my founders club. Founding members receive special pricing as follows:
$50 two class passes
$100 four class passes
$143 six class passes
Passes can be redeemed by you and shared as gifts
Please contact me if you’d like to register for this month’s class and / or become a founding member.

Thank you!
I look forward to sharing healing time with you.

Kindly,
Libby

Qigong and Functional Fitness for Seniors at NCRD

Submitted By: wingsforwisdom@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
Hello Community,

A quick note to share about my classes at NCRD. My name is Libby Golden Seaver and I’m a Health and Movement Coach.

Please know Qigong has moved from the gym to the Riverview room, but is still on Tuesday’s 11:15 – 12pm.

NCRD’s spring term runs through 6/16 (for qigong) We’ll be going over gigong principles of yin and yang, movement, breath, and motion. We’ll also be practicing standing meditation to release our overly tense bodies as well as tonifying where they are slack. Each class, we move through the 8 brocades, long known to support our bodies in balanced health. We will take a one week break on 6/23. The summer term at NCRD begins the next week and Qigong will resume on Tuesday 6/30.

Through the summer term, we’ll be taking an in-depth dive into each of the 8 brocades or 8 silken jewels as I’ve learned them. This is a great time to learn the form.
Please join us!

During the break week (6/21-6/27) there are other classes to check out at NCRD. Keep an eye out for their Try Me week schedule to find classes you may also enjoy.
I am taking a break that week, but will be back on June 30th for 10:15am Functional Fitness for Seniors where we work on balance, strength and coordination with restorative relaxation through movement as well. Michelle Churchill leads Functional Fitness for Seniors on Thursdays also at 10:15. You can check out her class on Try Me week. We both have different styles to offer your body well rounded health. Often in life and our careers it’s good to keep focused on one main thing, but in our health, balance and variety is key to keeping our bodies well supported.

Thank you! We hope to see you soon 🙂

Kindly,
Libby
